i was just coming in here to ask if anyone has been reading the pinned post. I read the first page and though nothing of it....114 pages later people are creating accounts on SM.
WTF is going on? Why is this spiraling out of control? Is this being overly dramatic? Nothing is going on like what happened at the TD so I am confused. and pissed.
I've been sick and dying all day so I bothered to read big chunks of it. Purple were asking about whatever happened to this being more than a forum, how do we get new people, etc. Admins came back with the same list of things they have been working on for 2 years. Everyone got upset over that. Admins basically stopped responding while everyone got SUPER worked up over it.
I'm....not sure why they are all super pissed that naria still wants to launch a website that they are not interested in using...I mean...the responses are frustrating but why do they care?
So, there is my best brief summary to help you out.
HI GUYS, how are you all?
Disclaimer that I haven't read most of the pinnned post but in general people are upset because without new blood the forum will die eventually and it seems to be headed that way. I mean my new bmb has like 15-20 poster and only 1 ftm so it is slow and will get slower unless there is a way to drive traffic to the site. There were grand plans st first but they have fizzled.

Yeah, I picked up on that but I don't really see it. I'm not around much though. The BMBs are definitely an issue that I get with needing new ppl.

I made an account over there. I think its a total overreaction based on my very brief but I need my reality TV threads so here we are haha.
I won't be leaving anywhere though. Like if you guys are still here and posting I"m not jumping ship haha.
I think with parenting you don't bother to keep up with everything. I do wish it was a bit more active and that certain threads had more discussion. LOL like me and RandomName sluggin it out in the minors with our big brother canada thread. hahaha. the 4 of us just keep reviving that thread

I mean, I'm on reddit too for things like reality tv discussion because of the quick pace. I'm not sure I really get the intense emotion.
I mean at TD they banned a lot of people so those people had no choice but to look for a new place, and then others left with them. I'm a bit puzzled at the need for a group decision right now haha.

I have an account on SM too, at least for now. I understand some of the frustration, but I do agree the mass exodus was an over reaction. I will be wherever you ladies are, and wherever the politics and WLC folks are. If I end up having to be on two forums, so be it.

Politics is over there. I have no idea how to find anything tho. Newb at its finest.

I'm over on SM but I can't quit you ladies! I've had some great days off except that J and I both have colds and I have to drive 2 hours to a conference tomorrow. Boooo.
Maybe I'll just keep heading south and crash the GTG?!

I have no idea what to do. Bedtime still is not going well. The last two days we put s1 down. S1 falls right to sleep and we put E down. But E is extremely noisy and wakes him up. S1 is normally a heavy sleeper. Both are sleeping now but s1 is in our bed. I don't know what else to do. Our home isn't big enough currently to do separate rooms. I don't really want to have them fall asleep in separate rooms like this. Ugh
So. I read that behmouth of a thread. All of it. It was very.. disappointing. I don't think it was an overreaction, just a reaction to the constant radio silence we've been receiving lately, and any time serious topics come up.
I have an account at SM, but will stay here in aug 15 too. I also wanted to note that SM will make bmbs if requested.
On another note I hope you all have an awesome time at the GTG. I want to see all the pics!
